A convoy of several vessels ,from IZ - este- were chased inio the harbour of Gia6 by the hornss - of Ulu Am . pinup yesterday. morning, anti the Officer (Lieu tenant Slaughter), On his remit', reported they Avet:ci.talen. with naval 'stores ft.ir the arsenal at the tahao Governmevt are making cg.telr marine s- Ile present- moment to fit -out' liieir at that port, the c.-spiore of this convoy became an'obiett Of impoilancr, and I as the more induced to tp , e n ipt it, as its. protecthin (it was sa id) con isted duly in 14'enty-five soldiers stationed at Grao, an openlown in the mule.; the sequel will show tlii3t we were built deceived as to the number of the garrison !i:iti the strength off the place; and. if t should ewer too much into detail in re lating to you ihe cireurnstances attending its cap ture, I tryst, Sir, you will consider it on my part no only an anxious desire to du ju-iiice•to the:gallant exertions of those who were empioyed oI the oc casion. The shoals of Grao prevent the near approach of shipping of burthen ; ttie capture of the con voy their-tyre was necessarily vontined to boat ser vke,.a-o; I tele:.;raptied to his Majesty's ..hh,p, Cer ti Amy,: evelong ur toe .i2 " stir, (Nit their't,t , ats and tnarinel Shoultt nion4side the Anilmott b; twelve o'clock ihat night.

Whitby, of the Cerbeius, very handsomely:volunteered his sers ices on this occasion; but' I considered it as,a-fair opportunity for my Se cond Lieutenant (Slaughter), (the First Lieutenant being - absent, having been detached on other 'ser vice in Inc barge the day - before), to thsringnish him self, and lie . bads-Jolly,in.every.way justified the con fidence I had in him. The convoy were. moored in a river above the towmi of Gaio, and it was absol,aely nece,sary to be first in pot , session of it ; the defences of the town were two old .costles,, almost in ruins, w ith loop. .hates for - titostpaetry, and a deep, ditch in their bout, extending boat one castle to the other. The boats from the Aniphion and Cerberus put off from the ship about !nay minute!, past eleven,. and , the marines of both shivs under Lieutenants M , ore, and Biattle (of mari nes ) and Lieutenant Dtcltensbn of the Cerberus,, the whole under the command of Lieutenant Slaughter, landed without mw,quet-shat 'to the right of the town before day light, and' instantly advanced to the attack, the launches with carronadeS under Lieutenant Olitien (Third of the Aniphion) accompanying them along shore. It had been imended that the A mphion's and ALlive's'shou:d have landed to the ri,;ht of the town, and the Get bhus to„t he lett;but the funnel boats not arriving, , Lieut . ,- Slaughter very prop: r:y took the .

A very Heavy firm Fig commence t d about daWn of d a y, th e enemy considerably stronger than was imagined, and, assisted by a nuinerbus peaNantry, kept, up' a very destrUctive fire 'on our men whilst _advancing, Who purposely retired a little to the lett, taking shelter under some hillocks, and what tli uneven ness of the ground afforded; 'they were followed by the Fumch troops, who, conceivins this to be a retreat on the bolts; quitted their advantageous po-• sition and charged•with the bayonet. It no longer beeame a contest to be decided by musqUetrY ; they were 'received with. the steadiness and bravery in herdn in Englishmen; both officers' and men were ptrt,nally engaged hand to hand, air.;-our of t!.e number hilted of the enemy in this encounter, eight were bayonet wounds, whiah will convince you, Sir, orthe4latnre of the attack.. A struggle of this kind could not. last long , and the French I.roops endeavoured, in great contusion, to tegain their former position; they ,Xere'cis,.7l 3 , pursued, and charged in thei“urni Which decided the - business,i and the whole deiaclunent of the enemy,' cunststing ot a Lieutenant, 'serjeant, and thirty -eight privates of - the 81gt • Regiment (all Frenchmen), were made prisoneri, leaving our brave !Ilea in possession' .of- the town, -.and twenty-fire vessels litden • with stores and merehandize. The Adive's . boats landed at this moini.nt, to the left, and her Marine,, under Llentenant Foley, were of great use in completely seeming the advantages' gained. EVery I N.';AS now made to get the convoy out of the rivet ;' but it being almost "low' water, it was late in the etening before they could. be got afloat, And much iabour and fatigue - was' occasioned, being ohligetf to shift the cargoes into smaller vvstels to get them over' the Bar. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon an attack was ,made On the town by a parr) , of 'French troops coming from Martin, itt the ulterior; the force neatest them under 1 iolit , o.wfs-,Slaughter, Moore, 'and Meats, of the Active; ins;antly attacked, ( assisted the laiiiichs in the iver, and the enemy finding te,i stance inettlillral, atter, losing two killed,- threw down their . arms and surrendered.
